2-minute Instant Indian Coffee | Microwave Coffee

Instant Indian Coffee is prepared using hot milk, sugar and instant coffee powder which dissolves in milk and water. The milk is boiled in a vessel on stove top until frothy and added to coffee powder and sugar. The milk vessel gets a thick layer of milk deposited on the bottom and is difficult to wash. This 2 minute version involves boiling milk in a mug in microwave and mixed with coffee powder and sugar, it takes less than 2 minutes to make and easy to wash. It is a really useful method for people who do not find time on busy mornings. Come, let’s see how to make this perfect coffee at home with easy method and step by step pictures.

Directions

Meanwhile, dissolve 1.5 tsp coffee powder in 1 tbsp hot water and set aside. This is called coffee decoction. I have used Narasu’s instant coffee (available in Indian grocery stores), you can use any brand: just make sure it dissolves in water completely.

After 1 minute 30 seconds, remove the mug from the microwave and you will see that the milk has boiled and turned frothy as shown. Add sugar and stir.

Add the prepared coffee decoction to the milk and stir. Optionally, you can make little extra decoction (1/2 tsp coffee powder in 1 tsp water) and add on top for stronger coffee and froth well. Serve hot. Super easy Instant Coffee is ready to make your day energetic.

Notes

Try to use full fat milk instead of 2% or skimmed milk for rich taste.

Adjust the quantity of coffee powder and milk according to the flavor of the coffee that you prefer (strong/ light).

Microwave times and power may vary: keep an eye on the milk after 1 minute 20 seconds.
